Grandma's Journal 10/2/08

Thursday 10/2/08
Today’s my Mom’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mommy! We both went to Chingola today ‘cause furniture is supposed to be delivered today. They show up at about 10 to tell me there are no trucks until the truck returns from Ndola. That’s a 4 hr drive from here and I seriously doubt if it will even happen. They are supposed to fix the Geyser. OK 8 o’clock sharp they show up to fix the Geyser. This is a new record! They install the element, but wouldn’t you know today is a power share day and we have no power to test if the new pump or geyser is working. Power will be back on 2 pm, or how they say it here, 1400 hours. Electricians say they will be back at 2, but I’ll believe it when I see it... They came back, but couldn’t make living room air work. Mike supposed to get $2000 cash today so we can take off and go to Lusaka tomorrow to buy for the house. Who knows? Drove home in the dark, way too scary. Some if these people don’t even drive with headlights on! They are nuts!
